I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when I was told that the trip to Key West was happening. Is it just like Miami? Is it like all those songs you hear that describe laid back vibes with margaritas and beaches? Everything was new but it also felt so familiar. Continue reading

Miami, Florida 2018 Select Photos
The third time to Miami is a charm. I had a more fun and interesting trip this time around than both my previous trips combined. I guess when you go with a local, you get to see the real Miami. Continue reading
New York City 2018 Select Photos
The first stop of a packed itinerary was to New York City to visit my friend who has made a few appearances on this blog in Tokyo and Las Vegas. This was my third trip to The Big Apple and as a fun fact, New York City was the first destination I visited when I started this whole travel adventure. Continue reading
My Year End Recap 2018. Travel and Life.
Travel
Well, another year has come to an end. It was a good year overall for me, like many of these recent years past. Life has been great and only looking to get better in 2019. Most of this year was spent saving money with no real plans to use it until December. Frugality juxtaposed by luxury. From the deserts of southern Arizona to the private beaches of the Caribbean, I took in a nice variety of the world this year. Continue reading
Las Vegas 2018 Select Photos
It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I’ve been, if I have the time, and I’m invited to go to Las Vegas, I go.

The best Las Vegas hotel room I’ve stayed in to date. Continue reading

From two days in Los Angeles to one long layover in Chicago. A city synonymous with the word metropolis. A city with an identity all its own. Strong contributions to architecture, cinema, and the sports world. A city that has forcefully yet expertly woven itself into the fabric of United States history. It is also a city that will drop freezing rain on you in May. I was dressed for Los Angeles not Chicago. Continue reading
Los Angeles 2017 Select Photos
Los Angeles… Is it merely a place where people want to appear more important, more rich, more interesting than they really are? Is a higher status than those around you all there is to life? I can’t say it didn’t feel good cruising around Los Angeles in a fancy BMW 430i convertible. I can’t say I didn’t notice the curious glances and envious stares. I get why people subconsciously or even consciously crave to be envied. I felt what it was like and saw through the allure of being wanted. Pulling up to the trendy K-Town restaurant, Quarters, and seeing the girls turn their heads as I pulled into the valet. Alas, it was only a rented life, a life that isn’t mine, and possibly a life I may never live again. I made sure to enjoy it. Continue reading
